This is sealed up in airtight bags. Will this coffee last a while as long as it's sealed up?
Sadly, no. After 7 to 10 days, there is noticeable degradation and a change of flavor for the worse. Nitrogen flushing can help, as can vacuum sealing, but how much it helps is limited. There isn't really a good preservation method that is generally acknowledged to do all that much for the shelf life once it is roasted.
